American diplomats paid the price with their lives\u00a0For Israeli Jewish film producer\u2019s \u00a0crime<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The United States Ambassador in Libya J Christopher Stevens<\/a><\/span>, together with three other US citizens, all employees of US consulate in the Libyan city Benghazi, had paid the price for a crime committed by an American- Israeli Jewish film maker Sam Bacile. \u00a0Stevens, a career diplomat who assumed office as U.S. ambassador to Libya last May had previously worked \u00a0\u00a0in Libya including Benghazi during last year\u2019s uprising.<\/p>\n

Christopher Stevens was killed following California based Sam Bacile\u2019s blasphemous film called \u201cInnocence of Muslims<\/a><\/span>\u201d insulting the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the most despicable manner. Inflaming the situation Bacile who described this as a political movie to help Israel, also boasted that he wanted exactly the type of backlash to further demonize Islam.<\/p>\n

In the summer of 2011 Bacile, together with an American based Egyptian Coptic Christian, wrote, directed and produced this two hour film involving 59 actors and about 45 people behind the camera at a cost of five million dollars, financed by more than 100 Jewish donors. It appears most actors and others involved were not aware of the theme of the film.<\/p>\n

Muslims worldwide love their final Prophet, Muhammad (PBUH), more than their lives in the same way they love earlier Prophets such as Jesus, Moses, Ibrahim and all others. Thus ridiculing other religions and hurting the feelings of their followers have never been part of Islamic culture throughout its more than fourteen century history.<\/p>\n

On the other hand calculated provocations of Muslim are not something new. For example a Danish newspaper’s publication of 12 caricatures of the prophet Muhammad in 2005 triggered riots in many Muslim countries. The journalist behind the cartoons was a Ukrainian Jew, operating under the name of \u201cFleming Rose\u201d with close working relations with the Israel\u2019s far right forces.<\/p>\n

In another incident \u201cVan Gogh, a Dutch film-maker, was killed in 2004 after making a film \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0insulting Islam. Columnists James Petras and Robin Eastman pointed out that \u2018the center piece of the\u00a0\u00a0 explosive confrontation between the Muslim world and the US and Western European regimes \u00a0\u00a0are rooted in Israeli efforts to polarize the world in its favor.<\/p>\n

It was under such circumstance comes \u00a0this film depicting Prophet Muhammad as a fraud, womanizer and madman in an overtly ridiculing way, showing him having sex, calling for massacres and questioning his role as the messenger of God’s words .<\/p>\n

As expected the film provoked wild protest first in Libya followed by Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, Beirut, Baghdad, Tehran, Bangladesh, Indian state of Kashmir and \u00a0numerous cities in south East\u00a0 following Friday prayers.<\/p>\n

Egypt\u2019s Grand Mufti Ali said the offence “affects millions of Muslims around the world” and that the making of such a film could not be justified on the basis of freedom of expression.” The attack on religious sanctities does not fall under this freedom”.<\/p>\n

Egypt\u2019s president Muhammad Morsi who supported peaceful protest and not attacks on embassies condemned the film stating that \u201call of us Egyptians reject any form of attack or insult to the Prophet\u201d.<\/p>\n

When Sam Bacile claimed \u00a0\u00a0that his film was to provoke the Muslims worldwide he was very well aware that the anger would be directed at America and not against Israel. Perhaps Sam Bacile proved one of America\u2019s founding father Benjamin Franklin\u2019s predictions on the danger the Jews could pose to America.<\/p>\n

Benjamin Franklin’s warning to the Constitutional Convention in 1789 concerning Jews has been called a marvel of prophecy which was recorded by Charles Pinckney of Charleston, South Carolina, and the original notes of Mr. Pinckney are said to be held at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

Benjamin said\u201d “I fully agree with General Washington, that we must protect this young nation from an insidious influence and penetration. That menace, gentlemen, is the Jews. In whatever country Jews have settled in any great number, they have lowered its moral tone; depreciated its commercial integrity; have segregated themselves and have not been assimilated; have sneered at and tried to undermine the Christian religion upon which that nation was founded by objecting to its restrictions; have built up a state within a state; and when opposed have tried to strangle that country to death financially, as in the case of Spain and Portugal\u201d.<\/p>\n

For more than seventeen hundred years they have lamented their sorrowful fate \u2014 namely, that they have been driven out of their mother land; but, gentlemen, if the civilized world today should give them back Palestine and their property, they would immediately find pressing reason for not returning there. Why? Because they are vampires and vampires cannot live on other vampires –they cannot live among themselves. They must live among Christians and others who do not belong to their race<\/p>\n

He \u00a0predicted that \u201d If they are not excluded from the United States by the Constitution., within less than a hundred years they will stream into this country in such numbers that they will rule and destroy us, and change our form of government for which Americans have shed their blood and sacrificed life , property, and personal freedom. If the Jews are not excluded, within 200 years our children will be working in the fields to feed the Jews, while they remain in the Counting House rubbing their hands.<\/p>\n

\u201cI warn you gentlemen, if you do not exclude the Jew forever, your children and your children\u2019s children will curse you in your grave. \u201cTheir ideas are not those of Americans. The leopard cannot change his spots. The Jews are a danger to this land, and if they are allowed to enter, they will imperil its institutions. They should be excluded from the Constitution!\u201d said Benjamin Franklin.<\/p>\n

Despite this call Jewish migration was allowed and their influence enhanced in almost every possible field. By mid last century they established themselves well that it was under Jewish pressure President Harry Truman blackmailed developing countries to vote for partitioning Palestine to create the state of Israel for Jews brought from all over in the Palestinian lands.<\/p>\n

On Sept. 22, 1947, Loy Henderson, director of the State Department\u2019s Office of Near Eastern and African Affairs, strongly warned Secretary of State George C. Marshall that partition of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states was not workable and would lead to untold troubles in the future. Henderson \u00a0\u00a0and his memorandum stands as one of the most perceptive analyses of the perils that partition would bring. Henderson informed Marshall that his views were shared by \u201cnearly every member of the Foreign Service or of the department who has worked to any appreciable extent on Near Eastern problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Nov. 24, he wrote that \u201cI feel it again to be my duty to point out that it seems to me and all the members of my Office acquainted with the Middle East that the policy which we are following in New York at the present time is contrary to the interests of the United States and will eventually involve us in international difficulties of so grave a character that the reaction throughout the world, as well as in this country, will be very strong.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the subsequent years these predictions proved prophetic when the American administrations began to be controlled by pro-Israeli elements before the Jewish lobbies became the administration itself.<\/p>\n

As predicted by Benjamin Franklin, Jews make and unmake politicians and governments and rule America today. Jewish influence on American politics has been such that former Jewish terrorist turned Nobel laureate Prime Minister of Israel, Menachem Begin said in 1982\u00a0 that \u201c The Road to White House is Through Tel Aviv.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jewish lobbies and Jewish controlled corporate conglomerates rule US with their control over almost every aspect of life from politics, economy, and media to almost everything. \u00a0The media was used by Jewish lobbies to shape the minds of Americans \u00a0to suit Jewish agendas and turn the Americans into a gullible lot.<\/p>\n

Even presidential candidates, bet it republican or democrat, have been carefully screened and selected by Jewish lobbies to suit their agendas. For example, according to reports,\u00a0\u00a0 it was a Chicago based Jewish billionaire selected President Barack Obama who, during presidential elections, visited Israel and while in Jerusalem, wearing Jewish skull cap, declared that Jerusalem is the undivided capital of Israel knowing very well that Jerusalem was captured by Israel during its war of aggression in June 1967.<\/p>\n

On being elected \u00a0President Obama\u2019s first appointment was\u00a0 Rahm Israel Emanuel, son of a\u00a0 known Jewish Irgun terrorist, as \u00a0White House Chief of Staff\u00a0 .Since then Obama time and again stated that \u201c no ally is more important \u00a0than the state of Israel and\u00a0 we don\u2019t compromise when it comes to Israel\u2019s security.\u201d In doing so he knows very well the damage he was causing to America among Muslims worldwide.<\/p>\n

America\u2019s blind support to Israel won intense hatred among Muslims worldwide. Since then it was with American administrations\u2019 overall support that Israel has committed the worst crimes and atrocities against Palestinians. It was with American tax payers\u2019\u00a0 \u00a0money thousands of Jewish only housing colonies being built in occupied Palestinians lands.<\/p>\n

Throughout the world, especially the Muslim world, America and Israel remains the two most hated countries in the world. Muslims worldwide, not their rulers protected by America, have been seething with anger at America.<\/p>\n

As we all know, since the collapse of former Soviet Union in 1989, the US substituted the Red Communists with Islam and Muslims as their new \u201cpublic enemy number one\u201d and began a very well-orchestrated campaign for global domination to plunder. The 9\/11 tragedy \u00a0\u00a0was exploited to unleash this ferocious global campaign under the guise of fighting war on terrorism.<\/p>\n

In this global campaign forces which rule the world- Zionist Jews, Christian Zionists, Evangelical Christians, Born Again Christians, RSS and its affiliate Hindu extremists, communists, so called secular Muslim dictators and all others- remain hand in glove.<\/p>\n

The result is the ever increasing provocations causing ill-feeling between the Islamic world and the Christendom. Sam Bacile\u2019s film is the latest in this series of calculated move to provoke Muslims worldwide.<\/p>\n

In January this year American soldiers urinating on the dead bodies of Afghan civilians sparked worldwide outrage. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton regretted. Just before that there were footages of American soldiers collecting body parts of Afghan civilians they killed as souvenirs. These are some of the atrocities committed by American and NATO soldiers in Afghanistan and other Muslim countries – Iraq, Libya and many more.<\/p>\n

The question is what prevents the\u00a0\u00a0 European governments which imposed a strict blanket ban on any criticism of the holocaust, despite its so called freedom of the press, from imposing similar restrictions on reports and films insulting Islam and inciting hatred.<\/p>\n

On the other hand it is sad that Muslims are easily provoked to carry out totally irrational acts that do not result in any good. It is said, and indeed it is true, that this film would have remained obscure if not for these riots in Benghazi and Cairo that have given the publicity that the miscreant was aiming at.\u201d<\/p>\n

Highlighting the present state of affairs former Malaysian Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamed said, NEVER in the 1,400-year history of the religion has Islam and its followers been so humiliated, denigrated and oppressed as they are today. The progressive religion that had propelled Muslims to become a major civilizational force with an empire spanning from Spain to China, is but a caricature of its former self. As Muslims we are all angry that our religion, the religion of peace, is being portrayed as a religion that promotes violence. But there seems to be little that we can do\u201d.<\/p>\n

Under the circumstance these provocations are bound to continue from time to time.<\/p>\n
